High Shear Food & Agricultural Homogenization
PRO Scientific food homogenizers use high shear rotor-stator technology to rapidly process laboratory samples. Sample material is drawn into the generator probe and repeatedly exposed to mechanical and hydraulic shear, helping produce fast, efficient, and consistent homogenization.
These bench-scale high shear homogenizers are well suited for food laboratories, agricultural laboratories, food safety testing, formulation work, quality control, research and development, and analytical sample preparation.
High Shear Food Homogenizer Applications
Food Sample Preparation
Homogenize meat, poultry, fruits, vegetables, grains, sauces, prepared foods, and other samples prior to laboratory analysis and testing.
Emulsification & Dispersion
Apply high shear processing to emulsions and dispersions used in dressings, sauces, mayonnaise, dairy products, flavor systems, and formulation development.
Agricultural Samples
Process plant material, seeds, grains, soil-associated samples, and other agricultural materials for research and analytical testing.
Food R&D and Quality Control
Prepare consistent laboratory samples for formulation, product development, quality testing, extraction, and analytical procedures.
High Shear Rotor-Stator Generator Probes
PRO Quick Connect Generator Probes are precision manufactured with a narrow rotor-stator clearance designed to produce efficient high shear processing. Generator probe size and configuration can be selected according to sample volume, vessel size, viscosity, particle size, and desired processing result.
The combination of rotor speed and generator probe geometry allows PRO homogenizers to perform a variety of food and agricultural processing tasks, including homogenization, emulsification, dispersion, mixing, extraction, and particle-size reduction.
For applications involving trace analysis or specialized material requirements, specialty HD or titanium generator options are available.

Food Homogenizer FAQs
What is a food homogenizer?
A food homogenizer is laboratory equipment used to process food samples into a more uniform mixture for sample preparation, analysis, formulation, or testing. PRO Scientific food homogenizers use high shear rotor-stator technology.
What food samples can be processed with a high shear homogenizer?
Applications can include meat, poultry, fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products, sauces, emulsions, plant material, proteins, and other food or agricultural laboratory samples. Equipment and generator probe selection depend on the specific sample and processing requirements.
How do I choose a food homogenizer?
Consider the sample type, volume, viscosity, vessel dimensions, largest solid size, desired processing result, and throughput. These factors help determine the appropriate homogenizer and rotor-stator generator probe.
